#:D ehehe i'm glad you asked

[kafka-ohdear]

3, 7, 10 and 19

hello :) thank you for asking!

3. have you read any books related to the show?

i'm currently reading "band of brothers" by stephen ambrose. i also have "a company of heroes" and "beyond band of brothers", i can't wait to read all of them tbh,,,

7. what was your favorite thing about Band of Brothers?

can i say everything 😭 it's literally impossible for me to choose on out of everything in the show, like there's nothing i can hate about the show. i love the acting, scenery/cinematography, plot of each episode and (almost) every character 😭

10. which Band of Brothers scene broke your heart the most?

the answer totally is the scenes when the characters die 😭 the scenes when dukeman and hoobler got shot (they are two of my favorites 😭), and the scene that skip and penkala got hit by the bomb never fail to shatter my heart even if i knew it was coming, every.single.time.

19. did any of the series change your perspective on the historical events? how?

well, it's not actually "change" but helps me to have a clearer look about the brutality of the war, and the affect of the war on the soldiers afterwards (i did a few research about the real men after watching the show :D).

again, thank you so much for sending this ask OwO have a nice day!

[yuukirita]

I wanna share an idea I had for the Second Bee AU, I remember(and hopefully I'm not going crazy) you saying something about Megatron ripping Bumblebee's voice box out so it got me thinking,

What if, and bear with me here, what if Megatron holds Bumblebee afterwards(while Bumblebee is having a full-on panic attack because he can't talk nor breathe) because Bumblebee looks a lot like B-127(probably because he is B-127 just in a new body, if I remember correctly, that is) and regrets his decision even after the war during ES.

Just an idea, hope it's alright😋

(Btw I love your AUs and Art please keep on making them!! Sorry if this is awkward, I'm trying to get better at talking to people, online and IRL :D)

(Also, sorry for this being long; I just get excited when talking about my ideas. None of my friends really watch or read about Transformers, so I just have a lot of stuff I want to spew out, and I'm sorry if I'm overstepping any boundaries you have!)

I like that idea... mmmmmmmmm I like angst ideas. Megatron just having a meltdown cuz he's holding Bumblebee like he held B-127's corpse. I'll take note of this. eheh ehehehheehheheh so much angst

(Thanks C: ur doing great fam!)

(Don't worry, you are nowhere close as the longest asks I've ever had. Ain't nothin got overstepped here. C: always glad to share a passion with some internet strangers!)

My recap of the Paris gig 😗

_ I arrived at 9am for the queue, it was nice to finnaly see other Kaareelyt ^^ thanks to @duekko for the fanart !! And i got so many bracelet xD

_ The gig was in a bar and the staff let us in at, if i remember, 3pm ? So we were able to wait inside confortably ^^ that was really cool

_ We saw the K crew going back from their eiffel tower photoshoot (and at first i thought that Mr Bodyguard was followed by two children 😆 but it was Kä and Hä lol they are really tiny when they are with Mr Bodyguard lol)

_ We were able to see the songs and lights tests (i was a little bit scared because when Jukka tried his guitar i felt the windows shake 😆 i was like "will i survive the gig tonight ?" because i'm not used to loud music and flashlight ^^)

_ AND THEN KÄ AND HÄ WENT TO US WITH MR BODYGUARD AND JESSE AND TALK WITH US FOR LIKE 20MN !!! That was so surreal 😆 they were so kind and funny :3 Jere with his "You want drink ? Yes ? Vodka ? Ok 😃 !" and then he paid for all the drinks lol we were i think 20 or 25 at this moment ^^ and then we were served by Hä and Jesse ^^ nice nice nice

_ Jere asked us if it was our first gig so i was like "yeaaaah 😄 " and he said to me "i hope you'll like it 😊 " so i said "oh yes i will " xD

_ I don't remember all of the things we talked about but i have a little video of the moment ^^ Jere speak about "Pooland" lol and that he don't have the choice of the country for the tour :/ and he said that he was really happy to go again on small stage and to be able to spend some time with the fans (if i remember well lol) there was so many things that happen to him last year and it was exhausting for him because he didn't have time for himself etc etc i remember that Jesse shush him many time and it was funny xD it was like Jere said thing like "yeah i think we will sing two new songs tonight" and then Jesse shush him (i don't remember well lol). Someone asked if Erika will be there for the gig and he said "Erika who? lol i don't know her 😁" xD so the person said something like "what about Herika then?" and Jere was like "ahah yes yes Herika 😁" lol

_ Funny thing i just remembered: when Jere was talking with us there were an old lady who wanted to go the bathroom so she needed to pass in front of Jere and she was like "Time's up time's up!" And Jere was like "watafak 😅" that was really funny lol

_ And then finally the gig !! I was in the front row (Jukka side :3) and it was so perfect (nobody pushing others etc etc ! Really nice ^^) it was really impressive to finally hear Kä in live !! Like when i heard Jukka do his solo i was like "wooow ok that's... woow"! And i was really glad that i did'nt have any problem at all with the loud music and flashlights :D

_ I understand why you all want to see Jere on stage xD this guy knows what he's doing :o and the new songs are sooooo soooo cool !!! We had "Bananas" for the first time ^^. And "sex=money" is really a banger !!! Woow !!!

_ We got Paidaton riehuja !! And of course our dear Goddess Erika Vikman for Ruoska (OMG she is so awesome 😳)

_ Jere was soooo soooo happy i thought he was crying of happiness at the end of the gig :3 baby !! It's so great to see him happy like this ^^ he's living his best life !! At the end many of us makes semi-hearts with our hands and Jere makes the other half ☺️ (so i was touched a little by Jeresus 🫶)

_ When the gig finished we made some art on the tourbus :3 Jesse was like "wtf does that mean 🧐" because there were words in french eheh

_ i am soooo happy of this experience !!! I hope i can see Jere again on stage in the future :3

Love your art of the Pantheon of Discord! :D

(They may or may not have contributed to inspiring to make my own AU surrounding these gods - specifically Lux, Toymaker and Maestro - and two of my own fan OC gods. Shh!)

Only if you want to, have you considered exploring the dynamics between Lux and the other members through illustrations/comics (if not, through writing)? Regardless, I'd love to see more of the funny toon god (who stole my heart, waltzed into my brain unannounced and stayed there without me even questioning it)! ✨💙🎞🐜

(Also do you have any tips on how an earth to draw Maestro and their iconic piano outfit? I only ask bc I want to draw Maestro for the AU, but the details both confuse and terrify me. 🤣😅 Please and thank you!)

(you get the first glimpse of my work in progress set of Maestro reaction pics ahah)

I saw your AU, actually, it's so cool!! Extremely glad that I have inspired that in any way, eheh. I do plan to have more of Lux appearing in the Polycule AU, but he is not the focus of it- so it will definitely be more about how the two main gods of my AU (Maestro and Toymaker) perceive their relation with him. For now, I kinda hinted that Toymaker finds him deeply annoying (perhaps out of jealousy, for light definitely was something he craved in the dark), which is not a resentment Lux is sharing at all. I also think Maestro would find him cool to hang around, but would probably get frustrated with his constant energy if they were forced to deal with him for too long! They do be liking their quiet fr fr

Now, for the dreaded piano outfit!! What might help you make sense of it is actually the harmony of the shape- it's all about triangles. An very badly made example:

There's also the piano key lapel of the vest, triangles, and the hair, triangles. There's a lot of details, but it's very organised! You can rely on the many lines, too, so you won't get lost in the fabric- like the lines on the vest. You can add the piano keys on every white surfaces, which are basically the inside of the coat, and it will already be pretty recognisable !

There's another triangle, also, not visible on the first pic, which goes reversed from the one of the train:

It contributes to give them a very hourglass shape from shoulders to train, and interestingly deconstructs it with the added form triangle around the hips, following the shape of the shoulder to the waist!

For the jewelry, I'm not great at it- so I've taken to make little circles to contour it. Like this:

If you think about it, don't hesitate to add the partition tattoo on their neck- it really serves the vibe!

I hope this helped 🙏

[kaison07]

hii I just found your account bc tumblr randomly recommended ur opm art to me and I was like "oooh this art is so cute imma check their account to see if theres anymore opm art :D" and then I just got hit with one hyperfixation after another whilst going through your account (opm, good omens, gravity falls, mob psycho, hatsune miku, deadpool, etc.). I've never had that happen before with an artist I've found online LOL. it's like i was always meant to find ur account or something ehehe.

anywayy I'm new here but I love your art sm ty for being amazing 🥰🩷

YOU´RE THE FIRST PERSON WHO ASKED ME ANYTHING THANK YOU!!!! KISSES!!!! HUGS!!!! HUGS FROM SAIFEM!!! That´s beautiful to know, I adore to share my silly fixations and didn't find anyone who shared more than 3, so I'm glad!! Enjoy my content!!! Since you mentioned OPM first, you got a sketch from that. I don't know who you are, but I'll assume from now on, that anon from tumblr has my back. And I got yours. If you get cancelled we are going down together 🤜🤛 (please dont tho)

[passionwillow]

Hii!! I just wanted to say I love ur blog and writing so much! I'm so glad I found someone who enjoys both NCIS and the Chicago series :D I'm so excited to ask for my first request soon too ehehe

But I thought of a funny NCIS and reader scenario and thought you'd enjoy it lol

DiNozzo: "hey boss! Who's ur valentine today" (teasing)

Gibbs: *shoots him a glare and smirks at y/n as he walks away*

*DiNozzo rushes over to your desk leaning* "oh so you know who is it huh?"

*y/n is nervous*

Kate and/or Ziva (i love them both): "uh Tony,, I think y/n IS his valentine"

Tony: 🤯

Ahh thank you!! 🥰 I will never get over the fact people like my stuff, I’m always so happy to see comments and requests in my inbox. 😭

I can hear and picture this exactly happening and omg 😂😂 Tony never fails to crack me up.

[gone-fish-mode]

the website looks amazing! i'm so impressed with how fast you made it and the quality (it looks so cool omg). i can't wait to see the newsletter up and running :D

big thanks for this super cool thing your doing for the community. i think its really nice to have something cool like this to look forward to during kinda hard times :} <3

can not express how much this means to me!! i am so excited to be doing something that so many folks seem to really be looking forward to- the support so far has been amazing. I JUST made the mailing list and we've got 14 subscribers already!! Which isn't massive, but it's been only a few hours since I made that post and I think it's just so neat.

I was absolutely inspired by Elfkind Digest and its legacy on the community-- with stuff like dead internet theory becoming a reality and algorithms controlling most platforms, something simple like a mailing list just felt like a breath of fresh air. I'm glad others seem to agree ;]

The website wasn't too hard, I was able to find some very basic and free templates to build off of. I've worked with neocities before and I like to code during class ;p I can not wait for more things to come together, if it all works out then things are going to look super cool ehehe!!!

thank you so much for the ask <33

[creepy-crowleys]

Are there any changes to Crowley that you are most proud of/really enjoyed RPing out?

It’s Munday!

((I'm proud of Crowley eventually hitting that point of recognizing that the way she'd been going about things wasn't working for her and actually asking for help in getting to where she wanted to be.

Like. Early plans for Crowley was for her to get worse. That had to be backed off on a bit to keep her interested enough in the goings-on around her for me to be able to show off as much of the game's content as possible, but I'd left it open for a while that she could still make the game's 'Evil' choices - even if I gave up on letting people vote on them since nobody seemed that interested, eheh... :'D

But between her son approaching her on that topic and all of the other kids and teenagers that ended up in her circle, she ended up in an arc of really wanting to be a Responsible Adult for them.

And it was hard! She definitely backslid a few times and was pretty sure at points that the best way to fix things was to remove herself from the picture.

I can't recall the exact timing, but I think it was fairly late into her plot with Match and Nata that she finally made the decision to seek profession help for better managing her mental illness and substance abuse issues, and I'm proud of her for taking that step and following through with it. She still struggles sometimes, but she's in a better place than she's ever been, and I'm glad I got to go on that journey with her.))

8 12 and 20 about luna👀

Ehehe everyone wants to know about Luna! I swear over 7 years on, and I think she'll always be my most visually appealing oc, but I'm glad :D Thank you for the ask!(asks here!!)

8. What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

You see, if I had done this ask game for any of my human ocs, then I'd be like UMM cause all of them are soooo projection heavy. But I'm kinda proud to say that none of the Gods really remind me that much of me? I think overall their personalities are either some sort of wish fulfillment for me, or the types of gods/rulers that I think would be interesting to explore. For Luna, it's embarrassingly so much of the former. So icl, a lot of her personality is built on my younger self's desires.... THAT BEING SAID. Her personality is interesting, since she's not bound to a particular planet or peoples. I just really like the idea now of this timeless being, who even after thousands of years, is still really charmed by and curious about humanity. Though she has a tendency to see them as characters in a story book, so she eventually has to learn how to treat them as more than that!

12. Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Well I of course must obligatorily mention Holst's Planets, despite there being no Moon piece, that space vibe really reminds me of her, especially the more quiet pieces like Venus or Neptune. The main song that reminds me of her is Debussy's Clair de Lune, for obvious reasons. If I ever made a playlist for her, it'd probably just end up being whatever delicate and/or tender piano pieces I can find, that's her vibe to me <3(Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, etc) Or any waltzes!!!! Lol now you're making me want to go make a playlist !

20. Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

GODDDD I really love to think about her wandering around the human world, wandering into town as this stranger who only wants to observe, but runs into issues when everyone is instantly enamored with her. Sure, she's disguised as a human and all, but she's HER. Yet is somehow completely unaware of how stunning she is(I like to imagines gods can perceive human attractiveness, but constantly forget they themselves have a form that could be perceived as attractive, since they never think of themselves as a human.) Her aloofness that would somehow manage to get her to instantly fit into high society(it would play as her claiming to be from some kingdom that no one has heard of haha, but they're all too distracted to realize how unrealistic that is.) All of that being said, I would LOVE to draw her throughout the ages, as she's absolutely obsessed with human fashion, and would revel in manifesting herself the newest fashion so she can go down and "play."

[creatively-cosmic]

Hihi! I'm the anon from the MN talk sprite ask I'd love to hear about your sprite genius science haha :-D

Ps to say that I'm a huge fan of your work just in general

first of all THANK U SO MUCH WAAH....... im so glad you like our stuff TvT !!

second !! ill hop to the sprite explanation right here! i'll put it under the cut bc it might get long eheh

and a note: im using csp but this should work with any program! i previously used ibis for my talksprites before remaking them ^^

for my example subject, i'll be using ace! they'll be my best example since theyve gotten more use so far!

quick notes about the background; i always export my canvas as transparent to give the image that they're just a Part of the post/environment. the nametags and gradients are optional, but i feel the gradients help fill dead space and add a bit more to it- the nametags help in emulating the feel of video game dialog too (i dont tend to have the patience to actually make pokemon textboxes because i have to do it manually, so putting this over post text is my next best option.. makes it easier for chattier people, and gives screen reader accessibility as well!)

ANYWAYS, now for the actual Building of the Sprite!

where i usually start is with a base sketch of their neutral expression. i have two for All of the modern/updated talksprites, because i had initially wanted to put them at an angle to add a bit more flavor to them.. ultimately though, i stuck with the symmetrical style for my personal quality of life. i find it easier to work with and add to- i just have to be very meticulous about getting the proportions right is the main thing ^^'

now, from the sketch is the natural next step of Lining shit! and heres where the method of madness starts, because a big part of this entire thing is...

this . im so sorry about this image.

if you look at the layers, you'll see the general order of operations! basically i try to look at it as different Pieces, or Assets. its like a paper doll that you're assembling- the pieces that go behind need to go all the way in the back, then you build up. the back of someone's hair goes behind everything, then their body. then their clothes, then head, face, face accessories, bangs, and finally cartoony emotes on the very top if that's your style.

generally, i try to set my layers up for maximum customization- mixing and matching it the key for making my talksprites as versatile as possible. so stuff like having a base body that you can add changes of clothes too, using clipping layers to add shadows that would go over everything, that kinda thing.

but overall, having layer stacks worked out like this is the MOST important part, imo, for doing these talksprites. when it all comes together, the result is a clean basis for mixing and matching however you might need for both expressions and appearance. i keep everything in folders of Lineart, Shading, and Color as well, just in case i need to revisit or add to something premade later.

speaking of adding- this also allows for you to easily make any future assets for changing appearance and expression! i personally do it case-by-case, as i can't ever anticipate every expression or article of clothing i'd Ever Need. when something new is needed, i'll just make the new thing, and then it's just another piece to have in the mix! it's pretty nice! :D

tip: god remember to name your layers/folders. i used to Not and it made finding the pieces i need so hard. doing this method will result in a LOT of layers. be nice to yourself and name things accordingly!

now focusing in on the most important part of an expressive talksprite, heres the face, and the best way ive found to stack the layers so far. within all of these layers are the pieces of expressions that can make countless matches if you add enough to them. fun!

now the Eyes. the eyes . the eyebrows and mouth are pretty straightforward you just Draw and Color them and boom theyre done. but i want to draw special attention to the Eyes because figuring out how to do these were probably the thing i struggled with the MOST. its a system thats a bit more in depth than just. Doing it. here's what we got though.

the optimal stack for maximum eye expression that ive found? do lines and the coloring for those lines. SEPARATELY.

the idea is to make irises fully round so you can move them around or have wide eyed expressions without any weird cutoff in parts you failed to draw (looking at my old sprites. sighs). but to avoid having to delete or erase anything, the iris folder needs to clip onto the eye whites folder so you dont get stuff like

this . yeah.

and another thing i had to learn the hard way is that if your character has stuff like eyebags or makeup, and this is the reason my "lineart layer" has folders, if that if you put that stuff on the white layer, the irises will sit over THAT as well as the whites, resulting in some annoying little things.

see: ace's eyebags in the whites layer, VS ace's eyebags in the lines layer.

ofc this is unnecessary if you dont add that kind of detail to your own characters- in that case, the lines layers can be as simple as just being lines!

with all that, the eyes more than anything are layers i recommend having properly named. you'll need to have the right whites with the right lines, so being able to find the two pieces with the same names is important! else you could get fun bits like this:

i dont think eyes are supposed to do that.

and generally, that's the most important parts of making these that i'd say! i have a few more tips, but theyre mostly little things that are moreso optional that i'll rattle off real quick-

for shading, i just use solid black shading with a lower opacity (i know, booooo). it's the quickest and easiest way to ensure they're both consistent, and covering everything in the same way. tbh i dont every see shading as necessary for these- but it adds just that bit more of depth and extra visual appeal to it imo

a general rule i use for characters with facial hair, which is Several in missing numbers; beards go with the head base, mustaches should be redrawn with every mouth. when someone with a mustache or stubble is talking, its usually gonna be moving and contorting with the shape of the mouth:

having it be static can range from a little off, to just Weird with more extreme expressions. but thats mostly because my style leans more realistic- if you've got a more toony style, i dont think having a mouth overlapping a mustache a little will be too bad!

this is just because i put a lot of detail into stuff and is SUPER optional, but one thing i do is have two different head bases for whether a mouth is open or closed. the jaw is opening is gonna result in the chin going a bit farther down, as opposed to it being closed! all i did to make it was take the original head base, grab the jaw area, and lower it a few pixels, then filled in the gaps. work smarter not harder

when moving the irises around, i prefer to duplicate the base layer. usually to get things to look right, you'll need to move the irises independently, so its good to just have the original stay as it is because getting it back EXACTLY how it was might be difficult. plus, you can keep the moved ones for reuse later! ^-^

if your art program allows for a universal symmetry ruler, awesome! make sure you know exactly where to put it later to add to your character! and if you use a program like clip studio (like me) where the ruler only applies to one layer; at least for csp, i can put it on a folder and it applies to everything inside that folder, so i just put all the assets in one Big folder and put the ruler there. i dont know every art program, but hopefully that still helps??

if your character has strands of hair that rests in front of their shoulders like ace's wisps or leafs big old strands, draw them as a part of the bangs or put them in the same folder so they properly sit atop everything else!

ace doesnt have any hands yet, but those would go at the very top of the layer stack. heres our lovely assistant for an example!

and for now, thats all i can really think of!

these talksprites aren't ideal for a lot of bodily motion, but for stuff like that, i figure thats where hand-drawn pieces come in. generally, i have these setup to make work on updates a bit easier, as it takes me a while to draw entire original pieces (and i struggle to focus. this is in fact why the blog suddenly went quiet again), but i still want my posts to have that visual flair to them! doing an entire visual of a character from the ground up is a fair bit more work than just. drawing a symmetrical mouth onto a guy, so i've found this whole mix-n-match type of talksprite thing a godsend ^^

anyways !! i hope i explained that well enough- good luck with ur endeavors, and i hope i get to see it!! :O

and please feel free to shoot any other questions my way if you need anything else!! im always happy to explain and help :D

and as a blog teaser for whoever gets all the way down here, a little something for your time... ive hired these three trainers to stare at you

[prince-liest]

Terrified by missionary anon here and oh my god I LOVE the way you reworked the ending of the last chapter!!! It had me squealing!! I was just a tiny bitty sceptical at first but at this point I can safely say I trust u with my life. Which makes sense considering ur occupation but u know what I mean

Also!!! I had a shower thought and I doubt there’s a better person to ask than you because your descriptions are always spot on. I think we can all agree that Vox smells good, but I was wondering what do you think Alastor smells like? 🧐 I vote for that rancid smell of rotten meat, with a hint of lacquer, like an antique shop, very coffin-esque. But I rly want to hear ur thoughts on this!!!

Ayyy, I'm so glad that you liked it! >:D I feel like a couple of years ago I would have been a lot more hesitant to just change my mind like this on something (and admittedly I did feel bad about it initially this time) but I've gotten to the point where I'm pretty comfortable going, "Bro, listen - bro, just trust me." about my own writing, ehehe. I'm pleased it's working out! >:)

Also, you've made a terrible mistake in asking me this question because I've recently become very interested in fragrances but I'm also a gourmand snob and have a very sensitive nose when it comes to food products and cannot stand the smell of things rotting, so I would just categorically refuse to imagine that any character I enjoy smells like rotting meat, klxjchfg.

Anyway, if I had to pick a style of fragrance or cologne for him for when he was alive, I feel like he'd go for something woody but warm. Those kinds of scents tend to be masculine and have a nature-y freshness to them that a guy who buries bodies in the woods would probably get a kick out of. And then add something like amber and musk to undercut the scent to make it feel warmer in a way that I think makes people read the wearer as a safer and more comforting presence, which is delightfully misleading.

As for what he'd wear in hell... Tsokovat's Inexcusable Evil, lmfao, no contest. The name is perfect, he'd think it was hilarious, and I've seen so many people say that it genuinely just smells unpleasantly like dousing yourself in fucking blood. Most people's reviews for this stuff call it really uncomfortable but compelling. Tell me Alastor would not think that this wouldn't be the most amusing perfume ever to force on the people in his presence.

[missnobodymadness]

1, 16, and 20 for that oc ask game! ♡

Also I hope you're doing well and I'm sending you good aura 🫶🖤🖤🖤

Hii! How are you doing? I hope you are feeling better! And thank you so much for the good wishes and energies, I really appreciate that! :D

So excited to get some asks, I miss doing this so much. eheh Since you didn't pick any character in particular, I hope you don't mind me picking them myself.

Let's gooooooooooo!

"1 - Which classic halloween monster/supernatural entity would they be?"

Going with Myline for this one! I can actually imagine her as a shapeshifter that shifts into a black cat since cats are amazing stalkers and I picked the color black to represent her clan's kekkei genkai, that is related to shadows and her aesthetics in general, I think this would be a great fit for her.

"16 - What makes them like someone instantly?"

Going with Aisha for this one. :P Aisha tends to love poeple who automatically give her the vibe of being self-confident (one of the reasons she fell for Tony Stark LMAO My poor girl) and playful, she loves to be around people who can take a good joke and appreciate sarcasm and irony, after all, she is known as "sassy pants" around the Stark Tower. LMAO

"20 - What was your first thought in creating them?"

Picking Evelyn for this question! Back when I created her, I was (And still am LOL) totally addicted to AOT, like, all I could think about was AOT, LITERALLY, it was hard to control for the first weeks after watching the show (it was far from being finished at the time but you get it), with that, my first thought was "I need and AOT OC right now and I want her to be a savage little troublemaker but not relevant to the plot, I just want her to exist", I had no idea how important she'd eventually turn out to be for me and my mental health, I am glad that thought crossed my mind that night.

----

And that's all, thank you so much for the asks, I really appreciate it! Wishing you an amazing weekend, lovely to have you around!

[writing-hat]

Hi! How are you doing! I really admire how you wrote the character of Delara in your fanfiction. What do you think about her? What do you think about her relationship with Nadakhan. Take care!

Hello !! I'm great, thank you! Overwhelmed by work but I manage lmao I hope you're doing well as well!

First and foremost so sorry for answering this ask so late but I have thought about this ask SO MUCH you have no idea so here we go

Rambles about Delara in my fic (and her relationship with Nadakhan) under the cut!

I'm really glad you like my Delara! :D

I think she is the most wasted potential in Skybound (Doubloon is a close second)

Let's start by the first thing we learn about her. She is Nadakhan's Quarter Master. Basically his second! Above Flintlocke in hierarchy of the Misfortune! This has to mean something, right?

I know I enjoy writing Nadakhan love blinded but O MY GOD she has to be good at what she does for her to reach this post/level/whatever the word is.

Else she would've been cited as like Nadakhan's partner? Or something.

Of course there could be the explanation that she got this place with Nadakhan just being in love with her but nah that's bullshit for me.

She's a pirate! And I do think it would be by choice! Let women make their own choice damn it

I've seen people say that the reason why, when she's brought back, she's excusing Nadakhan's behavior in the original episodes, would be because of the djinn's wish and magic doing the "what he wants to see and hear" once he sees her but nah. I don't think that's the case at all. She would understand his choices, despite not being aware of what's really going on- she must have done her fair share of sacrifices herself (soon to be written about in one of the other fic I'm cooking) and he's the one she loves!

I also love to think that Nadakhan fell in love with her because she was as ruthless as he was.

And because, I repeat, she must've been good at being a pirate and therefore a psychopath of some kind akjzgsg but a strong woman nonetheless, that got whatever she wanted whenever she wanted

(let's ignore how Jay gets rid of her in the original episodes hum)

About their relationship ;

Nadakhan is in love, with her. Madly so. The first thing I couldn't pass or ignore, was him ready to betray his friends to bring her back.

And Delara loves him back just as much. And I know that she could be using his feelings for her own profit- she's a pirate! of course she would- but that's absolutely not how I see them both.

I see them as a couple that works, despite their OBVIOUS flaws. A perfect mirror to Jay and Nya's situation since they're not… in a good situation in skybound lmao.

I feel like there was such a missed opportunity at having the route of Delara/Nadakhan and Nya/Jay parallels (We're definitely entering spoilers for my fic but I need to ramble about it a bit so I'll try to keep it as non-spoilery as possible)

One would be a good and healthy balance in the relationship, but yknow they're villains and pieces of shit, the other would be with a non-healthy almost toxic balance, getting them to where they're going to end up in my fic (i'm cooking with jaya angst ehehe (soon to come don't worry))

That's something they (well more Nya) are going to understand, which will break apart their ship a bit more

ANother thing that is important is the Nya and Delara parallels that I'll also work on in the future (spoilers so I won't delve into it)

thank you SO MUCH for the ask anon! We're definitely not done with Delara in my fic, and I can't wait to write more about her!! Don't hesitate if you have more questions

See you!! (I really hope I answered your ask properly alhfzeg)

Oh barracks bunnies is so good, I'm sad it's over but glad I got to read it :)

The last chapter,,, ohhhh the last chapter,, Bea, my queen, get his ass! figurative and literally! Oh it was so good I loved the argument and the whole lead up to the sex part! She really taught him a lesson on being a good leader AND made sure he would remember it!!! I love how you show that they really trust each other and I'm also glad to know that all TF industries mercs have always been freaky

The whole sex part was so good! The way you describe Bea's body makes me wish that she would sit on my face too ngl, amazing! I remember reading the previous chapter where Cheavy went over all the things he'd like to do with Bea in bed and I love that some of those actually happened (mostly the last one with her domming him but like yk :) !!

The end was great: short, sweet, and education because I did not know that the USA anthem being star spangled banner was such a recent thing! I love Bea's whole energy during that scene as well, walking in with his clothes on was a power move and I love that for her!!

Are you planning to do anything else with the tfc mercs in the future? Or something similar to barracks bunnies with a different set of mercs/different part of the TF2 cast? (outside of mi, I'll have to catch up on that!!) I'd be delighted to see if you do something like this again!

Amazing as always, you impress me every time!! Were I a braver user I'd go off anon but alas, I am not, so for now it's just long asks, hope you don't mind :)

I'm glad you enjoyed, anon! :D I had fun writing it; I just wish I hadn't written a couple chapters before just not being a person for a few weeks because of the death march to Smissmas that is working in a meat room during the holidays lmao. I was going nuts not having the time or energy to write the rest for so long!

The "argument" (if you can call it that; it was more of a dressing-down than anything lol) was a lot of fun to write. Bea just UNLOADING on his stubborn ass was so nice, and because it was someone he respects, he listened even before she hammered the lesson into him (oh hohohoho). Bea's pedagogy is top notch, lmao.

Ehehe thanks! Considering it was such a big climax (heh) of the fic, I put a lot of love into writing the sex scene. Bea being a hardass but also both of them having a lot of fun, yanno? I definitely wanted to hammer home that Bea's a built, broad, thick-ass fat woman and deeply sexually attractive to the guys she's fuckin' BECAUSE of that, not in spite. And tbh I'd let her smother me with her cunt any day lol. But yes! Some of Cheavy's fantasy came true! Good for him. :3

Okay so fr? Same on the anthem thing??? I wanted some kind of random relatively recent event for the mercs to just kinda banter about to set the scene, and I looked up a lil list of major events that happened in the early 30s, saw that, my brain broke, and so I went and looked it up in more detail and yeah. 1931. Absolutely bonkers. So I knew that had to be what I used. I like sprinkling fun trivia in with my pornography. <3 And Bea walking in with his clothes! Which of course means Cheavy had to do the walk of shame back to his room butt-ass naked. Lucky for him everyone else was in the rec room, lol

I don't have any specific hard plans, but if ideas come to me I'll deffo write 'em. I have the vague inclination of writing something with Virgil as a team bicycle thanks to the deeply sexy art of rawmehn on bluesky, who's drawn him being a pathetic subby bottom getting railed by Spy and Medic and tbh I'm on board with it. >:3 As far as similar stories with other characters, yeah probably at some point. Saxton slutting his way around MannCo could be kinda fun. Monstrous Intent is of course chock fulla that kinda stuff, including trains and group sex and gangbangs and the such.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means the world and I'm deeply, deeply flattered. <3 Srs I can't say thanks enough. And hey anon if you're skittish that's not a problem. I adore these long asks, they make my day and my week. <3
